DEVIL JIN

After a succesfull serires 1 of Tekken action figures, Epoch closelly followed with a second serires based on Tekken 3. Back then it was very exciting to see soo many toys based on videogames like resident Evil, Tomb Raider and Street Figther soo Tekken added some changes to serires two to add more excitment.

The serires two opened with Heihachi Mishima and Yoshimitsu and despite the cool design Yoshimitsu had back then, i wasnt too much of a fan of both characters at all. But the next two figures were something else, laveled as "SPECIAL" editions they were monsters, bigger, more expensive and rare to find: True Ogre and Devil Jin. I was never able to get the final boss of Tekken 3 but i was able to find Devil Jin later....like...10 years later or more...

Still sculpted by Hiroki Hayashi and in scale 1/10, Devil Jin is the same size the regular Jin Kazama but looked damn spectacular and epic thanks to his huge wings. He is articulated on his neck, shoulders, gloves and legs as well as a middle articulation on his wings wich can be removed thanks to a peg system.

This character wasnt on Tekken 3 at all, he actually was only on Jin´s ending video soo he dosnt have an actual battle pose to match the other characters and this helps him to be a little bit more dynamic tough he is still hunched. And they didnt use any parts of the very first Jin figure, he is a totally new sculpt and have a totally different musculature to match this new pose.

Also, this time his body is cast on flesh color plastic soo hhis skin looks more natural with some ligth shadows and tones to help. The paint is perfect this time, with no slopynes anywhere, his 3 red eyes, the strands of hair, his tattoe on the chest, pretty much everyting is perfectly nd clean painted and while his wings have no paint at all, they have a pretty nice feather sculpt.

He has no accesoryes at all but only the black base with the logo on it but this time around, the base is not enough thanks to his pose and how heavy are his wings, he keeps falling back over and over again. I think this is the only issue i have with this figure, the lack of stability.

This is deffinetly one of the most spectacular looking Tekken figures and like most character, the only one of this character. I wish i had True Ogre as well but i am very happy with this Devil Jin and this guy really uped the hype for serires 3.
